Memorial Day Weekend at the Lake

8 adults and 2 kids spent a Malaysian style Memorial Weekend at Lake of Ozarks.

Why is it Malaysian style? Because we had Malaysian food everyday..:)

First day we arried at Osage Beach and shopped at the Outlet Malls. At night we enjoyed BBQ "Ayam Percik" and "Ayam Tandoori" together with Ghee Rce, Pineapple Acar and Yogurt Salad for dinner..... hmm just thought about it makes me hungry..:P

2nd day we had Roti Canai with Sambal and Dhal for breakfast. Angela even made me a special Roti Telur...:) Then we went on the pontoon and drove around the lake enjoying the scenery and trying to spot *#@ at Party Cove..:) We also rented a jet-ski and highlights was that Yew Wee was ditched by Patricia (How can I not mention that?). KFC for lunch and Nasi Lemak with Curry Ayam for dinner.

3rd day morning we celebrated Athena's birthday and have yummy caramel pecan custard ice-cream cake for breakfast. Then we had leftovers - Acar, KFC, Roti Canai, Curry Ayam, Sambal & more for brunch. After checked out from the resort, we went to the outlet malls again before heading home. Everyone found something(or lots of things?) at the mall.

B&V Cultures Day 5/18

Believe It or Not? Zurin, Patricia, Kay and I danced "Joget Pahang" at the B&V Cultures Day event.
I remembered the last time I did Malay dance was in Secondary School (Kwee Eng, I am sure you remember). I wasn't so great at that time and this time it's the same. I couldn't remember what drove me to participate in that dance. Anyway, it's over and most people said it was good (Mat Saleh don't know if we did wrong..:P). Thanks to all the friends and family that showed up to support us..:))
Want a peek of the dance? It's a chance of a lifetime to see 4 wives "shake their hips"...Ha ha HA :))

I took Athena and Nelia to the event to expose them to cultures of other countries as well as ours. Athena dressed in Malay Baju Kurung and Nelia in Chinese Cheongsam.

See all the items and poster that we displayed? Yeah, a lot of work and coordination to set up such a nice display booth. Thanks to all that helped so that we can show the Mat Saleh our cultures!!
